psyker-class

[tulip kettle]

also that is pretty much a perfect roll on one

[lunar hollow]

theres some niche stuff like taxe2 (havent tested the others) heavies staggering ragers baseline

[tulip kettle]

maybe infested instead of unarmoured is better idk

[wind spruce]

I guess faster attack speed and higher base crit chance for synergy with mettle and empathetic evasion?

[opaque charm]

I guess you can, but 99% of the time you should not be meleeing ragers

[wind spruce]

unarmoured is pretty necessary to hit one shot break point for bruisers

[tulip kettle]

fair enough

[wind spruce]

and you need to hit that for BM

[opaque charm]

Hmmm BM into hitting 4 things for mettle does sound good

[tulip kettle]

yeah makes complete sense

havent tested it to know the BPs

[wind spruce]

even with 15 stacks DD you need unarmoured to hit it IIRC

[tulip kettle]

you think headtaker is better than decimator on taxe?

[wind spruce]

yeah i despise decimator, one wiff and you're back to square one

obvs a skill issue on my behalf

[tulip kettle]

fair but it builds so fast

[wind spruce]

tele was running shred

[tulip kettle]

and by the time you reach 4 youre at the same power as max headtaker right?

shred also makes sense if crits are important

[wind spruce]

ive been trying this too

[tulip kettle]

maybe i will trx taxeker sometime

[wind spruce]

yeah i suppose

Decimator is one extra hit to start stacking it aswell

[tulip kettle]

yeah i can for sure see arguments for both

[wind spruce]

headtaker is the ez low skill option

and your crit chance is 70% with shred and scriers xD

[tulip kettle]

yeah that seems insane if crits let you do something

beyond shitting out toghness with mettle i mean

[wind spruce]

they let you do more damage and kill more shit

and evade ranged attacks

thats pretty good

[tulip kettle]

yeah but weve covered this before

[sharp flint]

I'm a knife psyker

[tulip kettle]

is more dmg worth anything if it doesnt change the BP's

the on crit effects for sure very good

and really interest me the most

[sharp flint]

Not really

Because the damage being that percentage and if you look at it shows the weapons real damage

[tulip kettle]

okay i must have had a stroke

[wind spruce]

you dont one shot everything

[tulip kettle]

because i dont understand that line at all

yeah im not saying its not good

im saying i dont know the BPs

[near drift]

i forgor to harvest blazing spirit from any of my other trauma staffs oops

[tulip kettle]

so like, if ragers are 3 hits with a crit and 3 without is the extra dmg doing anything there

[tulip kettle]

do it now

thats looking very good

[sharp flint]

Damage means nothing without penetration, or finesse

If you cannot get through their armor it means nothing

[tulip kettle]

right but thAt doesnt apply to what were talking about vivid

[near drift]

i literally dont have any other trauma staffs I think I deleted the only one that did have it

[tulip kettle]

were talking about shred vs slaughterer vs decimator on taxe 2 for melee psyker

and if the extra damage from crits on shred is letting you do something, beyond proc your tree effects (which are very good and a reason enough to run shred)

[stone canyon]

I had to craft 40 trauma staffs to get Blazing

7 on average should do it though

[tulip kettle]

i got it second try 🙂

[wind spruce]

ok throwing this out there literally for you to refute this dom

[near drift]

also am poor

[wind spruce]

but isnt power also damage, why is it different from the crit damage in terms of does this affect BPs

[tulip kettle]

it isnt, at all

beyond crits arent guaranteed but power is

sorry

thats my brain working too quickly

yes, power is indeed dmg

and also stagger

[wind spruce]

yeah ok cool same thoughts

my brain is off atmt oo

having morning coffee before gym rn

[tulip kettle]

ooo nice

[little rapids]

how do i get pic perms and orange name

i wanna post a pic :3

[tulip kettle]

is it... something we want to see?

[little rapids]

yes

[tulip kettle]

that sounds ominous and slightly creepy

[little rapids]

its a staff

lol

i wanna see if u guys like my roll

[little rapids]

fr tho how do i get it

is it just activity and typing

[spice veldt]

yeah

[little rapids]

damn

okay ill type out my roll

[wind spruce]

the crits are v effective against cara flak and unyielding

[tulip kettle]

yeah, even maniac honestly

[wind spruce]

which is important if you're running las pistol assail like tele is

[tulip kettle]

you are getting a lot from crits

[little rapids]

trauma
372
20% unarmored
20% unyielding
blazing spirit 3
warp nexus 3

thoughts?

[tulip kettle]

sounds okay

whats the blast radius?

[little rapids]

:(

64%...

[tulip kettle]

LOL

shrekt

[little rapids]

how big of a difference is it rlly

till 80%

[tulip kettle]

pretty significant

[little rapids]

heck

well ill try it anyways

[tulip kettle]

im sure it will still be great

change the perks

[little rapids]

to what

crit for sure

[tulip kettle]

+25 flak and +5% crit chance

[little rapids]

what else

[wind spruce]

headtaker lets you hit some one hit crit breakpoints on gunners and shotties tho dom

[little rapids]

okay ill trust u and do flak

[tulip kettle]

oooo

but then, obv your crit rate is much lower without shred

as BM is 100% required i assume

like on everything that can get BM -.-

[wind spruce]

yeah gotta have BM

you're still at 30% without scriers, 50% with

[tulip kettle]

whats the att speed?

if youre hitting more often than every 0.5 sec that still sounds pretty fking strong

almost constant empathic uptime

even without shred

sounds.... nice

[wind spruce]

https://outplayed.tv/media/8XlzOo

You're using heavies most of the time so its not that quick

[tulip kettle]

hmmmm, i think this still sounds pretty good, fun for sure and something different

can always spam L's if youre getting lit up

but using heavies on taxe also makes me go hrnnnnnggggg why

i want to chop hed kwik

[wind spruce]

its certainly fun

maybe one of the other variants is better with lights?

idk

[tulip kettle]

another napkin math, but the dmg on heavies is only 25% or so more than the lights right

on mk2 specifically

[wind spruce]

but its about hitting that one hit BP on bruisers

which lights will never do

[tulip kettle]

for sure

im not saying never heavy

im more thinking for shotgunners and such

[wind spruce]

for single target lights are possibly better

because you're scaling so high with DD and scriers

[tulip kettle]

seems more efficient to spam lights into a group of elites than try and fail to 1 shot them then need to hit twice anyway

thats my thought too

your finesse is gonna be so high

idk though i heard theres a bug with taxes

not tried myself

but apparently it will just skip an attack out of the combo and delay the next attack if you get too much att speed

basically crippling it

[wind spruce]

Zealot problems xD

Two of the lights are overheads so there's that

H1 l2 is diag sweeps

[tulip kettle]

even the ones that arent are diagonal downstrikes arent they?

yeah

[wind spruce]

Yeah no horizontal sweeps unfortunately

Finesse from scriers and precog doesn't affect our attack speed does it?

[static needle]

Im gonna try playing scriers gaze with this weapon. Do I keep bromentum for a tac axe or switch it out for headtaker?

[tulip kettle]

hah good timing henk

[wind spruce]

You HAVE to have BM

[static needle]

lol rly? how so xD

[tulip kettle]

because its the best blessing in the game on weapons that can take it

[wind spruce]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1046914150363844779/1204917701231902810/image.png?ex=65d67a0e&is=65c4050e&hm=47ea3e902ff355103dbb8987344a3e4f19cc16e6d3523fadf3940090e7e02cb0&

[tulip kettle]

because it allows you to kill 4 enemies per swing

[wind spruce]

Change both perks

[olive ember]

Idk about best blessing

Uncanny is

Pretty strong

[static needle]

never

carapace is a keep

[wind spruce]

No it's really not

[tulip kettle]

on weapons that can take it

and yeah, no it aint

wrt cara

[static needle]

unarmored for breakpoint?

[feral verge]

Not at all

[wind spruce]

Yep

[feral verge]

Las pistol, especially the new one is great

[tulip kettle]

its 100% flak and irosk says unarmoured gives you bruiser BP so pretty much must take

[static needle]

wut

i can just shoot bruisers

[tulip kettle]

only 6 hours late manky 😄 but explain

[static needle]

bruisers are not really dangerous enemies

and also are u sure that scriers doesnt reach the breakpoint? @wind spruce

[twin zephyr]

Anyone have that Smite-Soulblaze clip?
The really satisfying one?

[spice veldt]

prob the one frrom pygex

search up pygex and smite and you'll prob find it

[wind spruce]

So the big goal with axes is to hit a one shot breakpoint on melee enemies so you can then one shot four at once with BM

If you're just gonna shoot bruisers and never melee them use something else

[twin zephyr]

Thank you

[static needle]

How about this tho?

scriers + DD

[wind spruce]

Pretty sure scriers still struggles to hit the bruiser weakspot breakpoint without unarmoured but I'd have to test. It also depends on DD stacks and if you have headtaker.

[static needle]

maybe hit the BP?

[static needle]

which do u prefer, headtaker or shred?

[wind spruce]

You can't rely on having all your buffs up at once

Idk I just started testing it

I think I like headtaker though because I'm bad and I miss hits

Yours is so good though if you switch both perks

Keep shred and BM and fiddle around with what perks you like

[static needle]

ok so theoretically, lets says I hit headshot breakpoint for tac axe with 15 DD stacks, what perk would you run besides flak? @wind spruce

[wind spruce]

I'm not sure tbh, and would depend on your ranged weapon

[keen vale]

Making crushers faceplant like dumb goofs is one of life's simple pleasures. 😊

[feral verge]

incursus asked

but i didnt

[dim wren]

What's the most efficient approach to grinding a Surge blessing? only upgrade to exalted or go to transcendent? is there a certain base weapon rating i should aim for or just consecrate all staves i buy?

[olive ember]

It’s all conjecture

There’s no real definitive way to know because we don’t know the rates

I prefer to upgrade high base rating weapons to gold

Some others just upgrade it to blue

Etc etc.

[bold badger]

grab melk by the collar and threaten to out him as a heretic if he doesn't deliver you a staff with the blessing on the next restock

[dim wren]

so surprised this game doesn't have a way to craft/buy specific blessings at an increased cost

[olive ember]

But then wouldn’t you be a heretic for agreeing to keep it a secret on a condition instead of outing him immediately

[olive ember]

Welcome to gacha hell

[keen vale]

My usual method is to buy blues from the store if they have a blessing I can salvage. If I get a green from a mission, I upgrade it to blue.
I go to Melk for a purple/orange if I see a blessing that REALLY interests me.

[dim wren]

like let me pay an absurd amount of money to guarantee it in 1 purchase 😦

[bold badger]

🤔

[olive ember]

Except instead of anime girls you are grinding for a 5-20% damage increase

[dim wren]

melk has a t4 riposte for me right now but im worried if i buy it i might miss out on surge or something else i need

[bold badger]

can always out him anyway. I bet you could get hallowette to help

[dim wren]

is something like a t4 riposte uncommon enough where i should spend all of my currency to secure it from melk while it's still available, or should i save in hopes of surge?

[bold badger]

most of the time i end up getting my blessings from melk stuff. Sometimes I get lucky just buying and upgrading but that doesn't work out most times

[olive ember]

Ehhhh? T4’s are fairly rare but Idr riposte being the best blessings either

Like if you needed uncanny and it was a t4 uncanny I’d buy it in a heartbeat

A t4 riposte is nice but imo it’s not like a must have so ehhh? Up to you

It won’t hurt to get but it’s not super duper important

[wary stratus]

Ok

Ok so

Melee centric psyker

Thoughts? Suggestions? Tips? (Aside from "no" and "don't" from those who don't like to live dangerously 😎)

[olive ember]

Uh you can either run Scriers or shriek

Bubble is like anti synergy with melee build. Ig you could be like “this is my turf” but it also means playing defensively which idk if a run it down melee build is good for

I’d suggest assail as the blitz cuz you can weave it in between melee to help with horde clear

[wary stratus]

Shriek? Surprising actually. I figured Scrier's 100%

[elder glade]

A melee psyker is just pulling your melee out as a gun psyker

[olive ember]

Shriek is just generally good utility in that you can use it as an aoe stagger

This has both offensive and defensive applications,

[wary stratus]

A melee psyker is a gun psyker but cooler (real) (factual)

[olive ember]

The fire it puts on targets can also act as horde clear

Only problem is that you need peril gen to use effectively, not an issue before with illisi meta, idk about know with ds meta

[wary stratus]

I guess that's what assail could be for ig?

Kinda?!

[olive ember]

Prob

And your choice of keystone would either be DD or EP

Ranged weaponry is kinda wte cuz melee build, I’d probably trauma staff for stagger but dunno

[wary stratus]

Why not warp charges, actually?

[olive ember]

Warp charges doesn’t work with Scriers

[wary stratus]

I did WC for a little while. T'was fine. And I just recently went over to DD

[olive ember]

Since the CDR doesn’t tick work unless Scriers end

The dmg boost is inconsistent as well since you always vent your charges on ability use now

[wary stratus]

Oh yeah, shoot. I forgot about that part of it

[olive ember]

You could use warp charges with shriek but then you need a consistent peril generator to maximize shriek as well as decent horde killing power etc to maximize charge gen

[wary stratus]

I rarely ever NEEDED to trigger Scrier's while running melee so I always forgot about that part

Okay yeah DD for sure then

[olive ember]

EP can also work since it’s basically 3 free assails whenever you kill 3 elites

But idk how much melee you want in your melee build

Since there’s obviously varying degrees

One final thing would be to take perilous combustion

This is pretty much a must have in all builds

[spice veldt]

ask god for forgiveness

[feral verge]

oh Lord, @feral verge do you forgive me

[lunar hollow]

i do not

[feral verge]

yes, @feral verge I forgive you

[feral verge]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K8_pbmdyh48

[olive ember]

@feral verge what would you do if you could only use smite for an entire match

[lunar hollow]

mald

[feral verge]

refund darktide

[vocal cliff]

What would work nicely with surge staff blitz wise

Wanna try every Tyler staff available for me to rank them for myr

[feral verge]

assail

surge staff weakness is horde clear

assail helps with that

[vocal cliff]

Got it

[feral verge]

i dont find smite very fun, but you could bring that too

for thematic reasons

[vocal cliff]

Absolutely not

I'd rather watch paint gru

[hollow hatch]

When I am trying to break a weapon down for a specific blessing is the best action to go grey blue over and over til I see it?

[vocal cliff]

Yeah, but if you want a higher ranking one at a better chance I'd only lvl 360+ to gold

It's a more expensive route but the chance increases

[hollow hatch]

Does it matter if I break it down at blue vs gold?

And how often does the shop swap between outfits?

[bold badger]

every 2 weeks, on thursday

[lapis harbor]

how do I make assail OP? is my chainsword Rampage buff applying to it?

[long wharf]

assail shards will activate/benefit from whatever blessings are on your active weapon when the shards impact

[upper sun]

I have like 7 illisi swords at 370+ i got most of them from camping the store its far more cost efficent to check the regular store than it is to roll for stuff from brunts unless you spend a mill+

[lapis harbor]

so throw shards and then switch back to your weapon before impact?

[long wharf]

it's a bug with the game not making a distinction on blessings applying to only the active weapon instead of all hits by everything while the weapon is active

[long wharf]

yep

[vocal cliff]

Lil Irish dude

[lapis harbor]

so rampage and uncanny strike are pretty good to have on your melee then

[wind spruce]

Accurate

[vocal cliff]

Alright time to give the surge staff a whirl

Then I'll do purg, trauma and followed by void

Tho I feel like I'm missing a staff

Despite the fact I'm not

Idk it feels like there should be another staff

[upper sun]

surge is very weak pls dont use it

[long wharf]

can be, yes

[wind spruce]

It REALLY depends on the blessing, so many don't do anything to assail

[feral verge]

Oops

[upper sun]

surge is unusable after the nerfs pls buff

[long wharf]

but then, yeah as Irosk said, not every blessing works

[feral verge]

Ignore the mileage

[upper sun]

sounds like you have bigger things to worry about

[long wharf]

in fact, I prefer not to rely on weapon swapping to get assail to do more

[wind spruce]

iirc the power blessings usually don't affect assail

[feral verge]

But build your purga like that

[wind spruce]

I was testing headtaker this morning and it doesnt

[feral verge]

Mechanic didn't reset the message or whatever lmao

[wind spruce]

Assail definitely benefits from dum dum and uncanny strike tho

And can proc infernus

[vocal cliff]

My purga looks very similar tho I can swap a slot in for maniac and it'll be similar

[upper sun]

assail deflector?

[static needle]

I know you all are cultlike about bromentum being a MUUUUST on all axes, tactical as well. Which brings me to the question... Is bromentum really mandatory on a tac axe? is using shred + headtaker not good enough and better in many other situations?

[long wharf]

problem with assail using weapon blessings is that you basically have to use a macro

[wind spruce]

BM is mandatory

[long wharf]

I really dislike that, and so I don't

[static needle]

not on zealot or veteran

[wind spruce]

I don't use a macro

[vocal cliff]

Splendid

[wind spruce]

You don't need one

[feral verge]

Unyielding and crit chance are also options. Flak is a must though

[static needle]

question is: is it on psyker...?

[upper sun]

BATON DE FORCE

[wind spruce]

So BM lets you do full damage to target 2, 3 and 4 if you oneshot headshot the previous target

Meaning you can kill 4 bruisers in one hit

Or poxwalkers or whatever

The axes dont have good natural cleave, BM gives them omegalul good cleave

[lapis harbor]

BM is best in slot for assail you're saying?

[long wharf]

no, BM is BiS for axes

and nearly all melee

[wind spruce]

Nothing to do with assail, just for axe melee

[long wharf]

in fact, the only melee I can think of that you don't want BM on is dueling swords and force swords

and they don't have BM as an option

[wind spruce]

BM on duelling swords would be bonkers

[long wharf]

nah

[wind spruce]

If stuff is stacked each heavy oneshotting like 4 things

[long wharf]

ds have terrible cleave as it is

[wind spruce]

The natural cleave is irrelevant with BM, that's the point. Unless I'm not understanding the mechanic

[long wharf]

it's pretty rare to have things line up perfectly front to back in melee

[wind spruce]

True

[long wharf]

you can't turn down uncanny strike (rending)

and the crit chance is also hard to turn down

as dueling sword is all about single target stabs

[wind spruce]

I'm sure it would still be must take with uncanny if you could get it

[long wharf]

meh

now with Illisi? hell yes

[wind spruce]

Oh yeah

For sure

[willow hazel]

the illisi already cleaves through everything

[wind spruce]

BM let's you do full damage on the subsequent strikes though

[willow hazel]

for like 4 hits

[wind spruce]

Pretty sure illisi doesn't one shot 4 bruisers

Yeah and then on your 5th 6th, 7th, 8th hit you'd do normal cleave damage

[proven crest]

it might with full slaughter stacks up

but don't recall

like, it's why bm is good on power swords

it turns great cleave into phenominal cleave

[wind spruce]

Indeed

[spice veldt]

you can also drag the DS stabs around

because the attack hitbox lingers around for quite a bit

[wind spruce]

My favourite mechanic

[spice veldt]

bm for DS when

[wind spruce]

Makes it so forgiving

[wind spruce]

Pls

[proven crest]

the bayo technique

actual degenerate gaming

[wind spruce]

I'd give up any of the non uncanny blessings on DS for ONE extra target on heavy weakspot kills

Let alone three

[proven crest]

if psyker could trade their blitz spot for brutal momentum i bet most people here would do it

[eager token]

psyker talent that increases perils of the warp radius by 300%

suicide psyker

[elder glade]

Finally, a build to stack wounds on. Balanced, as all things should be

[upper sun]

also applies soulblaze

[vocal cliff]

Why is it whenever I use other staffs there's always a moment where voidstrike would excell in strikes

It when I use void those moments rarely show up

Seems I found the perfect time to run trauma

Oh my god why the fuck do we have 3 psykzrs

[cosmic sigil]

Shred + HT on a taxe single target with a bit of cleave

You could also do deci + ht

[torpid girder]

Tbf those settings are just psyker food
Or a bullgryn if there's an ammo vet or something

[gaunt monolith]

Is this doable?

[cosmic sigil]

One of the blessing has to be uncanny... Your pen is quite low tho

[gaunt monolith]

Yea thats what I was worried about

the pen

[torpid girder]

it's soo close to being perfect but everything is just sliiightly off 😭
at least i think

[cosmic sigil]

Buy it for the blessings

[gaunt monolith]

Ahdang that really sucks lol

[cosmic sigil]

I would keep precog and put uncanny instead of executor

When you find another good knife you can put precog on it

[gaunt monolith]

Alright .. I will give this knife a go just cuz I can lol and then I will get the blessings from it. Thanks guys 🙂

[wind spruce]

Three psykers is amazing for melee mael

I don't think this game likes me

[long wharf]

Darktide doesn't like anybody

[vocal cliff]

And it's changed and now it's scab RANGE only

At least trauma blaze was fun during that

[queen trout]

lot of psykers doing nothing but smite spam in auric damnation today, really annoying

[vocal cliff]

Has a smite psyker who actually knew how to smite

Had*

Properly

[queen trout]

must have been nice

[vocal cliff]

Yeah

Unfortunately the monkeys paw happened

[long wharf]

not really a monkey paw when you're just randomly matching with other players

[vocal cliff]

But it feels a too good to be true moment

[long wharf]

that's not what "monkey paw" refers to

a monkey paw is a wish granting "thing" that horribly twists your wish into the opposite or worst case scenario of your wish

like "I wish for world peace" and everybody in the world suddenly dies

"and a finger on the monkey paw curls..."

[fresh reef]

a monkey's paw would be like "I wish for good teammates" and the game gives you teammates so good that you're the worst in the match by comparison

[vocal cliff]

Yeah I just realized this shits vent purge

Nvm on running this

[wary stratus]

Cant tell if /srs or /j

[long wharf]

taking PC is always a valid suggestion

especially as you get into the difficulties where you see clown car spawns of elites

PC helps snowball the killing of groups of elites big time

[olive ember]

serious

[wary stratus]

Do explain actually

[olive ember]

it procs whenever you kill an elite or specialist, 2 kills will kill all the trash around them, 3-4 will basically kill everything that isn't a crusher (I think even bulwarks and reapers will start dying)

when the game goes "oops 20 ragers/shotgunners" or "oops 10 maulers) just by killing a few of them perilous will help soften up everything close by if not outright kill them

[wary stratus]

Indardesting

[olive ember]

#psyker-class message this is a link to a msg providing links to more msgs lol

heres a few examples

for one of the clips, where crab is attacking crushers, do note that you need uncanny stacks for the burn to actually deal damage to crushers, but also realize that this is probably like worst case scenario for perilous where its all carapace, most enemies will die without needing uncanny

[long wharf]

yeah, you aren't relying on PC to kill Crushers or monstrosities

it can help wipe out mixed hordes, though

strike that, it will help wipe out mixed hordes

[olive ember]

another thing to note is that perilous is super cheap as well for how good it is. It's at maximum a 2 point investment, which basically means you want to take it no matter the build

gun build, melee build, staff build, blitz build

[long wharf]

I have one build where I don't take PC

it's my All Assail All Day for speed running build

[olive ember]

is it one of those super supportive bubble smite builds that I see reddit love

lmao

[long wharf]

ugh no

[olive ember]

I mean ig if you can't wait for burn procs

[long wharf]

I don't have a single build using smite

[olive ember]

XD

[long wharf]

I only run that build when things are dying more quickly than soulblaze can kill anyways

like when I'm running malice missions for no-death runs, where I can easily hard carry

[olive ember]

I haven't done malice in a while tbh

mostly cuz I don't rly care about weeklies

[long wharf]

I do it when I just want fast runs for weeklies

yeah, this week is the first week in a while where I did only my psyker weeklies

not really feeling playing Darktide more than that

[olive ember]

i'm debating if I should go to sleep now (its early) for a chance to wake up at 4 AM for helldivers 2 release lol

[long wharf]

I was looking forwards to Helldivers 2 until they announced they're using GameGuard

I cancelled my pre-order that day

[olive ember]

eh I already have valorant installed

can't be worse than that

[long wharf]

GameGuard is exceedingly invasive

and has known exploits

and I don't trust any company with that kind of access to my system on their promise not to mine my system for user data

on top of all that, there's zero legitimate reason for an online-only, their servers only game to need to do anything client-side

so not only did the Helldivers 2 devs pick one of the worst anti-cheat systems possible, picking one at all was completely unnecessary

[olive ember]

Maybe they'll change it

[long wharf]

we'll see

depends entirely on their PC sales in the first month

I have no doubt that the game is good, given everything the devs have put out and talked about

I really do hope they remove GameGuard

[olive ember]

well currently helldivers 2 is one of the most bought games on steam rn

so uh

[long wharf]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

I won't be playing it until they remove GameGuard

computer security is way too close to my heart

[olive ember]

yeah I get that

meanwhile I'm looking at my pc and be like "huh how much longer will this thing last"

[wind spruce]

bruh that ogryn did 180k damage and took 1.6k

[olive ember]

a lvl 29 in a maelstrom

honestly not that bad

[wind spruce]

Oh i didnt see that

Acceptable then lmao

[fresh reef]

he carried the vacuum capsules without being told to though

big ups

[wind spruce]

Good lad

[spice veldt]

vacuum capsule

[hexed geyser]

I never bothered checking, but i assume creeping flames from venting shriek applies more stacks of fire at high peril?

[spice veldt]

yeah

6 stacks at >83.33% peril and 1 stack at <16.66% peril

[zinc phoenix]

I have one device for finance/shopping that is secure and then a gaming/dev computer. Easier than worrying about that ish 😂

[sullen sphinx]

Today Trauma God blessed me with that staff in Melk's shop, so I will continue to run my heretical Blazing Flurry Trauma build

[cosmic sigil]

Nice!

[leaden mulch]

what stats should trauma staff prioritize? and which one is dump stats

[sullen sphinx]

Depends on your build, but usually quell speed is not that important

[mighty cipher]

Thats just factually incorrect

[sullen sphinx]

Yea, my bad, you can drop Blast Radius and Damage as well

[wind spruce]

Blast radius is the most important stat

[mighty cipher]

The only builds that I can possibly think of that doesnt want a max quell staff is gun and melee Psyker

[spice veldt]

tbf you can dump damage though i haven't bothered to do the math with new trauma

[sullen sphinx]

And you know what, Charge rate and Warp Resistance is not important as well

[spice veldt]

however much damage you need to hit BPs

[sullen sphinx]

But seriously, Trauma need all the stats

[spice veldt]

well, his statement =/= saying other things aren't important

you're just being overly dramatic at this point

[mighty cipher]

Trauma has dump stats depending on build.

If its soul blaze, Damage. Most things, warp resistance

Also. I just got a 74+ in everything Trauma

EZ GAME

[sullen sphinx]

Nice, Melk or Brunt?

[mighty cipher]

FLAK AND NEXUS III

Dude fatshark is spoiling me with my gear

[regal jasper]

Man got disrespected 2 times by a silly little robot

[mighty fractal]

Warp res is probably the stat you could afford to 'dump' on trauma

and I put that in quotes because I still wouldn't take anything lower than a high 60%

[mighty cipher]

You fear the warp

[mighty fractal]

Blaze Trauma can afford a lowish damage roll, but I still wouldn't take anything lower than a high 60% there either because trauma's damage is absurd at the epicenter of the explosion

nah warp res makes edging 3-4 stacks of Warp Nexus easier

and that's why building a Trauma is so annoying

it's one of those weapons where you really want high rolls in every stat

[mighty cipher]

Nah, I just edge 100% at all times

[mighty fractal]

https://tenor.com/view/the-voices-abatukam-gif-26360022

[mighty cipher]

I cant hear shit over the 100% warning but hey

Nexus or Flurry on BT?

[sullen sphinx]

Not a big fan of edging peril, so I just blast stuff from 0 to 100

[mighty fractal]

Nexus

Flurry speeds up the charge time

which is good for Rending Shockwave Trauma builds and for plain crit (Nexus + Flurry) Traumas

[mighty cipher]

You fear the warp. Abuse its power and make it fear you.

[mighty fractal]

But you want to crit as much as possible on Blaze Trauma to spread as much fire as possible

[mighty cipher]

Thats what I was thinking

I got F4 and Nexus III on the same staff

I was eying that T4 Blessing and really didn’t want to give it up.

[sullen sphinx]

So, the highest crit chance for Blazing Trauma is 40%, right? 5% base, 5% from the node, 5% from weapon, 5% from aura and 20% from Nexus. Anything I've missed?

[wind spruce]

Base is 7.5% for psyker

[sullen sphinx]

Oh, I have an outdated information then, it'll make it 42.5%

[wet belfry]

I doubt most BPS are affected on trauma by damage value

Its hard to say though

Trauma isnt a traditional weapon since it has an aoe damage that is focused on an epicentre

[onyx sentinel]

How is damage dump stat in flame trauma, that shit gets regurgitated so much in this discord. Most of your damage is still from your rmb and spamming shriek.
Quell speed and Warp resist is still the dump stat, as few as you need as long as can do a full RMBs with two ticks of quell (with TruePeril/PerilGauge)

flame trauma is good not because 6 stacks of soulblaze is good but because adding a single blazing spirit stack on top of shriek allows you to kill most specials and both types of elite gunners

[wind spruce]

Oh and trauma has 0% natural crit chance

[plucky flax]

Ikr? Worst take of all time that damage is dump stat for trauma.

[vestal fulcrum]

meanwhile, my Blaze Trauma

[plucky flax]

[inner flower]

Heyya new in psyker lv 14 ish. I was wondering why i couldt not charge my force sword with alt mouse click, whereas in previous game I could. Restarted the game and still couldnt. Is it because previously i use different force staff?

[vestal fulcrum]

Is… anything happening when you use the button to whichever special action is bound?

The interaction has nothing to do with your force staff - force swords’ attacks/actions are designed independently from the rest of your arsenal, and this is true for all other weapons in the game

[inner flower]

Currently using voidstrike forcestaff,

[vestal fulcrum]

Okay, but what is your melee weapon

[inner flower]

No sir, nothing happened.

[inner flower]

Voidsword

[marble crater]

Maybe controls are bugged, on Xbox I have to switch controls every time I start the game because they reset to default, it's annoying

[inner flower]

I forgot the name will check it out

[radiant frigate]

try using special with other weapons

[inner flower]

Willl do

[radiant frigate]

maybe your input is not working

[inner flower]

Yeah my guess is this too

Thanks everyone! Will try the recommended solution

[graceful cypress]

I just realised that if you peril as psyker it can kill enemies around you aswell.

[radiant frigate]

Yes

[graceful cypress]

I wonder what the damage is for it

[vestal fulcrum]

Not great, don’t explode with the intention of becoming a tactical nuclear warhead

[graceful cypress]

Is it just enough to kill chaff or can hit actually be of more use?

[vestal fulcrum]

It’s a couple hundred damage

[graceful cypress]

Say in a situation where I'm screwed anyway, would it be more beneficial to peril?

[vestal fulcrum]

No

Don’t get screwed

Clutch is an art, learn it

[sullen sphinx]

If the situation that dire I'm not sure you'll survive until the explosion

[cosmic sigil]

Such wasted potential for a full wound build.

[tired estuary]

Maybe if peril pop did as much dmg as ogryn bomb and could actually wipe a crusher mob but nah

[graceful cypress]

That would be nice, maybe if they added a perk for more peril damage or something

But that would be insane

[sullen sphinx]

Imagine that explosion, but with the double blast radius of Frag Bomb

[tired estuary]

Kamikaze wound psyker would be more useful than avg pub psyker tbh

[graceful cypress]

Eh psyker is a hard one

[austere crest]

Gotta say I'm shocked; I just tested primary fire w Kinetic Barrage on surge against plague ogryn, and averaged 1:20-1:28 between 4 Plage Ogryns, which was within just a couple seconds difference of Secondary Full Charges with Kinetic Barrage 1:19-1:26. Am I high? What? I produced almost the same results with Voidstrike primary fire as well, no anim cancels.

[vestal fulcrum]

If the explosion was much stronger than it is right now, it would be abusable

[graceful cypress]

Yea

Psyker would be a boss killer at that point

[graceful cypress]

Can someone translate into less complicated word?

What does this mean

[vestal fulcrum]

It has to do something “fancy” to look funny/accurate to what would happen to you in lore if you overdosed on warp-stuff, but also remain a punishment, not a reward

[austere crest]

Primary fire with Brain Burst on Ultimate is just about as fast as Secondary with Brain Burst on bosses.

Average about a minute in a half in either scenario

[cosmic sigil]

So brain burst meta now?

[austere crest]

I mean it always was right

[vestal fulcrum]

What is the point you’re trying to make?

[austere crest]

Primary fire is slept on - thats the stick

I would have never used primary on a boss.

[cosmic sigil]

Bb was always the reliable tool to finish that crusher before he clapped your vet friend or the sniper oneshotting the team.

[sullen sphinx]

Imagine if they add the 1% chance to summon chaos spawn on explosion just to be lore friendly

[rigid sky]

BR is Ol' Reliable

[austere crest]

Sorry yeah its Brain Rupture now isnt it XD

[rigid sky]

It is always a solid single target option

And very safe

[vestal fulcrum]

management is not happy with you summoning a warp entity into the cafeteria

[cosmic sigil]

I never used rmb with brain. So I was right all along???

[rigid sky]

If you can't get close enough to poke the weakspot with your single target melee, and you don't have like Voidstrike or maybe Surge, it's a great backup for extra boss damage

Although you're probably better off on add cleanup duty

[austere crest]

I main primary, but use secondary on bosses, i'm just not going to use secondary as much XD charging staves sucks

[sullen sphinx]

BR with EP is a good quick way to deal with wall of gunners

[onyx sentinel]

you still have the 7.5% from natural crit

[austere crest]

And I guess Kinetic Barrage is renamed to Kinetic Resonance. You can tell i look at the skill trees alot XD

[wind spruce]

Yes, by natural I mean from the weapon itself without perks or blessings

[onyx sentinel]

it's so sad alexa buff trauma staff please

[upper sun]

is that a void staff pistol?

[lunar hollow]

the skin that is from is technically for trauma staffs but u can apply it to any

https://streamable.com/iv9xjr @feral verge @spice veldt its so fucked up they just nerfed voidstrike into the ground

[sullen sphinx]

Well, you can inflict some trauma with that for sure

[inner flower]

Okay found what's wrong, it's my Logitech software that does not register mouse 4 and 5 clicks.

[inner flower]

yeah logitech software

I uninstalled the logitech software and it worked

[marble crater]

Good you figured it out

[inner flower]

thank you 🙂 i tried using the mouse 4 and 5 outside the game, and it didnt work/did not register. so i immediately assume the problem was the mouse software or hardware, not the game

[coral cave]

why is blazing spirit good on trauma staves?

if u gonna run burn build wouldnt purgatus just be better?

or do u not run burn build and blazing spirit is just extra damage

[vestal fulcrum]

#1158835513789272126 message

Consider this footage for the potential AoE the soulblaze can be applied in

And then amplified by Venting Shriek with Creeping Flames upgrade

And even then, 6 stacks of soulblaze can kill common horde enemies basically effortlessly

While Trauma also provides insane crowd control to keep enemies on the floor while they burn to death, certain elites included

[coral cave]

I might have to look into this

last time i used trauma was back in playtest

so u just grab all the crit and burn stuff and use your ult+staff to stagger enemies while they burn to death

[vestal fulcrum]

There are probably some other options to consider, but that’s the basics of it

[coral cave]

can burn ticks trigger brain burst?

[vestal fulcrum]

I don’t think they can

[rigid sky]

The fire is not actually for the sake of burning everything, it's more to cover Trauma's weaknesses. Usually it doesn't kill enemies outside of its epicentre, but Blazing Spirit makes it much more Lethal there.

If you want raw soulblaze, Purgatus is the way to go.

If you want to be able to kill anything in a mixed horde, take Blazing Trauma

If you just really want to murder the hard targets and still have some horde clear, go Rending Shockwave trauma

[austere crest]

combat blade XD its adorable

[upper sun]

I love the usless bits of extra animation they have in the game

like even with books pressing the alt attack makes you hold down the book it does nothing its just adorable

[austere crest]

i love the little things

make a path we comin thruu

[untold niche]

see you guys in helldivers 2 discord

[austere crest]

is it out or early access?

Looks like people are pissed cause of server crashes, and nguard anticheat

Oh and matchmaking is brokexD

[austere crest]

Sounds awesome

[mighty olive]

Someone's review said optimization is bad and there's like little settings for pc players to change anything

Such a bummer that so many gaming companies are releasing games unfinished nowadays 😕

[static needle]

Modern Gaming! 😎

[idle plover]

Why make it work before when you can just make it look "good" and fix else latee

[static needle]

it sure is a plague of the industry, yeah...

[static needle]

lmao like Darktide was "good" at release?

they dont even make things good

the bar is set so low

so they can cash in on christmas money, please investors, etc

or actually

[idle plover]

With fatshark i kinda expected it not to work as its bit of a trend. But with multi million dollar firms that would easily have resources to sit and wait is ridiculous

[static needle]

rather, they dont care about the bar

[mighty olive]

Darktide had a bad release but it wasn't worse than let's say...diablo 4, payday3

I'm not rushing to buy games or pre order anymore. I regret not refunding pd3 and I got the silver edition >_<

[rigid sky]

There was never a point where Darktide wasn't fun to play

[static needle]

I thought Diablo 4s most glaring issues was gameplay and design related rather than lack or content or poor optimization

[rigid sky]

apart from when it was crashing for everybody

[idle plover]

Payday 3s issue was more of the fact that their company has had a lot of troubles over the developement so their release screwing up i cannot entirely blame them on

[static needle]

When performance was dogshit at release for most people

[rigid sky]

It was only ever the ancillary systems that were the issue

[mighty olive]

Diablo4 had major server issues, it did lack endgame content, and had other in game issues

[rigid sky]

Also, Payday 2 was god tier

[static needle]

and the lack of crafting ofc

[rigid sky]

even a great game release would have been a big step back

and PD3 was not a great release

[mighty olive]

D4 is better now, new season isn't horrible

[idle plover]

Yea pd2 being as good as it was gave a lot of pressure

[mighty olive]

They did fix a lot of issues

[idle plover]

But i really like pd 3 feel and gameplay

Progression and unlocking grind is jyst frustrating

[mighty olive]

I do too @idle plover but hate the leveling system, lack of lobbies, can't communicate with your team as there's no text box in lobby

With pd3 exp system it forces you to do like achievement kinda shit to level up so most missions have people wanting stealth only, and if you go loud people leave

I'm praying killing floor 3 and den of wolves takes their time and don't have horrid releases >_<

[idle plover]

Kf2 is funny how the start was good but slowly turned to mess later on

[graceful cypress]

Deep rock galactic is a good horde shooter, I lost my account progress when I reset my pc so I haven't played it recently but I got 180 hours on it. Is fun

But I haven't touched it since I lost all that

[untold niche]

out
optimization is fine for me. default settings looks veyrn ice, 70 fps on my 1080ti

[haughty star]

At 1080?

[supple sedge]

Sparkhead show Ulgo how to use power?

[austere crest]

Wave hands and shake funny stick thing

[supple sedge]

Thank you

[rigid sky]

I suppose Ogryn have incomparable minds too... in a way.

[supple sedge]

Thank you sparkhead

[austere crest]

Indeed brute

[haughty star]

I'm getting sick of unoptimized games man. Like Darktide don't even look good enough to justify how crappy it runs

[wheat seal]

not good to have +% carape armoured ?

[lean raptor]

Runs fine on my machine and its a basic machine running on Med-High 🤷‍♂️

[dawn spoke]

the damage roll is a bigger problem
if you switch unarmored to maniac and rampage to shred/precognition/riposte, that will make this sword as good as it's going to get

[untold niche]

yeah 1080p

the gameplay is pretty solid imo
Good sound, recoil feel nice, enemy react to being shot

[wind spruce]

Darktide looks amazing

[untold niche]

i agree
the last time i felt that the beauty to optimization was acceptable was in Just Cause 3
Really beautiful game, takes abit to run but acceptable imo

[haughty star]

It does not look as good as it is demanding. Graphics in dorktide are mid at best and performance is downright bad

[haughty star]

I might check this out

[untold niche]

though i will say, if you don't think you will like it don't buy it

[haughty star]

A buddy wants me to try it so he's buying it for me

[wheat seal]

Hey, I want Uncanny Strike + Flesh Tearer for my Combat blade VI, do I have to drop the blessing on the same weapon or can I recycle it on another one?

[tough trench]

performance is so pretty fuckin bad

[haughty star]

I have a top tier rig and I struggle to keep 100 fps in 1440 with no upscaling like

There's no reason for it lol

[tough trench]

yea im not even hitting 90fps with a good rig

[dawn spoke]

not sure what you're asking, but only the other (mk 3) knife shares blessings with the mk 6 knife

[tough trench]

generally speaking, the same classes of weapons share their blessings. psyker staves are the only ones you would think that share that do not, because each has a different blessing pool

[wheat seal]

that mean I can only drop these 2 blessing only on these weapon ?

[wind spruce]

What do you mean by drop blessings? If you use regular terminology it's easier to give advice

[ionic needle]

The staffs aren't the same class of weapons though

You can spot if a weapon will share blessings with another based on the name after the mark number

[wheat seal]

To find out which type of weapon I can upgrade to get this blessing, and after earn it

[supple sedge]

Where does sparkhead light stick come from?

[olive ember]

I wish I could see it without my frames dying

40 frames on low >.>

[dawn spoke]

only the mk 3 and mk6 knives

[vague musk]

does lightning get more powerful with more enemies

[hollow jolt]

Technically until you hit your chain limit

[cunning plinth]

assail does use the traits of the (ranged) weapon you had out when you equip the shards right?

[wind spruce]

No

You have to switch back to the weapon to get the benefits from perks etc

[cunning plinth]

i see

ok that sounds annoying then

but also saved me from building an assail statstick

thanks

[wind spruce]

Assail weaving is where it's at

You fire 2 shards then switch

The switch time to and from assail is so quick and so is firing two shards

You can switch, fire two shards and switch back in less than a second

[tulip kettle]

As irosk said, weaving assail is very strong

With your, for example, duelling sword with uncanny, +Cara and +maniac, you can look into the sky, throw 2 shards, then swap back to the sword and start slashing. The assail darts will come back down and benefit from uncanny and the dmg perks on whatever they hit

If you throw the daggers above stuff it gives you the time to easily swap back before they make contact

[misty cypress]

blazing spirit on illsi, procs on assail crit, set people on fire with assail ❔

never tried

pair with shred

[rigid sky]

less cripplingly, you could do that with trauma I guess

blazing spirit on illisi is a waste of a blessing slot imo

[haughty star]

Illissi needs the damage blessings to be passable

[willow hazel]

Shred doesn't affect assail

[little rapids]

is mind in motion a noob trap

the mvmt speed quell talent

[wheat seal]

For this build (in the guide) they recommends the combat blade VI or the DS4, but I find it really difficult to kill those in armour with the combat blade VI, is this normal?

[devout robin]

the combat blade really needs you to hit in the head

uncanny strike helps significantly

it's just that vi in particular has hybrid heavies where it's sweeps and occasional strikedown underhand stabs

[willow hazel]

you want to use the block attack for single target

[dawn spoke]

if you don't have uncanny strike on your melee weapon it will be hopeless

[wheat seal]

Okay that's why it was bad

[misty cypress]

hypothetically the crit chance does if your sword is out and swinging when assail hits

[opaque charm]

I wonder if Brutal Momentum works with Assail 🫨

[cunning plinth]

weird question, but is 400k damage (heresy, shock gauntlet) a lot?

[opaque charm]

Sounds like a good amount for Herecy

In Damnation I think you wanna be at 600k or more

[cunning plinth]

enemies have 30%? more health there?

• more stuff

[mental rock]

Well it really depends. I've had teams that clear and move so efficiently that no one ends up with more than 500k damage because we did the mission so fast

[daring bone]

seeeek their eyessss

[dense zinc]

So I just ran into a super experienced psyker with a fire staff build that absolutely destroyed the place. I’m down to try it myself if anyone knows the build.

[dawn spoke]

there's a very good purgatus build in the pinned psyker guide

[near drift]

love the smell of soulfire in the mornin

[rotund fable]

Welp... at least hadron didn't completely brick this staff...

[upper sun]

iktfb

i got flak infested and two bullshit blessings

like give me anything except infested

ill even take stamina over infested

[rotund fable]

I can swap the nexus for its level 4 version, then prob swap infested out for flak

or i can farm more plasteel and hope this staff gets a better roll

[upper sun]

I have infested 4 on my surge with 77% dam there is no scenario where i can one shot a dog except if i crit it at high peril with 6 warp charges or maybe some perfect timing charges

and thats like the one use for it

[upper sun]

pretty nice

[rotund fable]

Dont dogs specifically resist ranged damage but take triple meele damage or something?

I also have these that seem decent, assuming hadron doesnt brick them.

[upper sun]

idk i never tested it in meatgrinder or anything

[mental rock]

Yeah dogs have a 3x melee multiplier. As do muties and bombers

And bursters

[tulip kettle]

actually interesting thought

[tulip kettle]

this is the opposite of bricked

blessings are almost perfect, sure you miss 2% crit chance at max peril, big whoop. Put flak + maniac on it and its awesome

[upper sun]

i think im gonna roll a new surge for fun

[little rapids]

have fun

[leaden mulch]

is assail viable on Damnation or better use something else?

[vocal cliff]

It's viable

All blitz are

[primal plume]

can we please get something other than a fucking toilet bowl?

[vocal cliff]

Shit they misheard you

[haughty star]

That actually looks dope as hell

[vocal cliff]

Now you're going to get a reskin of a reskin of a toilet bowl

[haughty star]

The collar has a reason

[primal plume]

I dont care about the lore behind it

Im not paying for "Reskinned toilet bowl #17"

[haughty star]

Than don't. This ain't fortnite

[primal plume]

"Stop complaining about lazy cosmetics"

[haughty star]

"I think cosmetics are lazy and shouldn't follow lore therefore you should have the same subjective opinion"

[primal plume]

Shouldnt follow lore

lol

lmao even

[upper sun]

they are very lazy

[primal plume]

someones not paying attention

[upper sun]

ive seen less cliping in skyrim mods

[haughty star]

I think the cosmetics are pretty dope as a whole tho. The collar (toilet bowl) is a psyker thing to attune

[primal plume]

no one cares

this is a cosmetic shop

not a lore shop

[haughty star]

You* don't care

[primal plume]

most people dont like the toilet bowl

i barely see psykers wear them

why cant we get something like this

and before someone says "its a navigator"

[haughty star]

May as well throw Peter griffin and rapper skins in while we're at it

[primal plume]

logic went out the window the moment vets got commisar gear

[haughty star]

[primal plume]

"Wow, you want something from another warhammer game? Might as well peter griffin"

actual braindead

this is the smartest toilet bowl fan

[haughty star]

Only thing I've been doing is pointing out the fact that you're projecting your subjective opinion as how things should be

[primal plume]

??????????????????

[haughty star]

And you result to petty insults

Average psyker chat enjoyer

[primal plume]

Im not insulting you, im insulting your logic and how you resort to appeal to extremes

You basically said might as well add peter griffin when I suggested adding that headpiece thats from rogue trader

you have no argument

[haughty star]

This statement right here is what gives it validity

Cope

[tulip kettle]

wew lads

only im allowed to be an insulting asshole in here

[primal plume]

You were the one that argued the toilet bowl exists because lore

???????????????

i see why you like the toilet so much because you apparently have shit for brains

[mighty olive]

Hate toilet bowl helm xD

[haughty star]

It does and you said lore shouldn't matter to cosmetics

[tulip kettle]

because of my INCOMPARABLE MIND

[haughty star]

Seethe

Literally malding

[primal plume]

Tell me where Im wrong

[tulip kettle]

im more annoyed that i actually bought a cosmetic

thinking it would change my voice

and then it didnt

[haughty star]

Yeah the psyker got some pretty crazy cosmetics stock

[tulip kettle]

like, why cant i test it? why cant you just put a little icon showing it changes my voice?

[haughty star]

Vet needed a purchased one tho they all copy paste

[rotund fable]

It does not sadly, blitz abilities are coded to count as ranged, not meele.

The times where Brutal momentum sometimes applies to your ranged weapon is in times when that weapon has a melee option (like the bayonet of a hellbore)

[primal plume]

Does the voice thing still not apply to ults?

[tulip kettle]

this is wrong

if this was true, you couldnt proc uncanny with assail

but you can

[rotund fable]

Uncanny strike only checks if it's a weakspot hit, not if it's a meele weakspot hit

[tulip kettle]

right, so youre saying BM checks if its a melee hit?

[rotund fable]

I have been told that it works that way

I do not know myself

[tulip kettle]

okay, np

i think it would be strange that other effects on your melee wep proc on assail if the melee wep is equipped when the shards hit

but not BM. although

[opaque charm]

Daang. I do it know it works with Handcannon which is wild

[tulip kettle]

the groaner / pox perk applies specifically to melee

so i can see that it is possible it works like this

just doing some testing

[rotund fable]

I know that uncanny strike procs off of the second push attack from force-swords, which Apparently counts as ranged, I am assuming that is why uncanny only checks that it's a weakspot hit

[tulip kettle]

yeah theres no doubt that uncanny works with assail

im trying to work out how to test if BM works

considering i actually dont have a BM wep rn haha

[spice veldt]

prob test it with vstrike

[rotund fable]

I dont even thing BM has an icon to show it procs...

[tulip kettle]

its only on axes on psyker right

[spice veldt]

yeah only axes I think

[tulip kettle]

thing is BM doesnt show you a buff or on hit effect

i guess just compare dmg

[spice veldt]

you can just see if it takes effect

[tulip kettle]

as it increases the weakspot dmg

[spice veldt]

by killing a mauler

or something

since carapace otherwise stops all finite cleave

[tulip kettle]

good call

need to quickly rustle up some BM

[rotund fable]

Got this as a reward... the thing has amazing stats everywhere except the one that matters most.

It is a laser pointer

[hollow current]

dum dum 4 tho

[rotund fable]

yes, so it does have a use

[tulip kettle]

nomnomnom

BM doenst work with assail

[rotund fable]

Melk is selling this for 2700...

[tulip kettle]

[rotund fable]

The level 4 blessing though... it am tempted to grab it

[tulip kettle]

any suggestions?

[tulip kettle]

carapace on deimos

[red jacinth]

i do

[tulip kettle]

other than that thats the exact tree i run

[red jacinth]

forgot to add to build

[tulip kettle]

and i personally would go for 1 toughness regen and 2 gunner res

but thats just me

oh wait

you went for toghness gen on gaining warp charge

i think u dont need that and peril reduction is better

you get plenty of toughness from quietitude and mettle

[red jacinth]

oh true

[tulip kettle]

peril reduction makes it a lot easier to edge at high peril

i also prefer the DS4 over deimos these days, tho deimos is great

[red jacinth]

demios silly

[tulip kettle]

they both do the exact same things, demos gives you the cool special and instant maxed uncanny

DS4 gives you much better mobility

not sure if you were saying i misspelt it, but i didnt.

[red jacinth]

nah

i was saying its silly

[tulip kettle]

oh yeah its great

i love it

i make less use of deflector and more of higher mobility

each to their own

[red jacinth]

i switch between ds4 and demios

The toilet bowl is on Psykers throughout WH40K lore

[primal plume]

I never denied that

[austere crest]

its too gendered, fatshark only believes in unisex items

[primal plume]

Its funny you say that when everyone uses the male model anyway

[austere crest]

I heckin dont, even my Ogie, Pluto, is a girl. She's just, built a little stocky.

[rotund fable]

I use the female body on my zealot... sister of battle cosplay...

[primal plume]

by male model i mean the outfits

not the actual gender

even something as subtle like this would go a long way

basically showing the people who are in charge of the game give a shit

[lapis violet]

i've been playing psyker recently and have tried all blitzes, but i fail to see when (and with what kind of setup) i'd wish to use assail over smite of BB, or just plainly any staff or sword. it seems very mediocre at all it does except picking off far-away targets, which BB excels as anyway

[mighty cipher]

Oh hey. Elden Ring

[primal plume]

OHHHH ELDEN RING

[dim parrot]

most psyker headpieces definitely look ,,special"

[austere crest]

me casually just wanting to go shopping

[mighty cipher]

PSA. Assail doesn’t actually auto track like a lot of people say it does. It actively seeks out the target under your crosshairs and won’t headshot unless you lead it to do so.

Assail is spammy and meant for shredding hordes of anything without heavy armor. It’s by far the best solution aside from a gun for dealing with stalker or shotgunner. packs.

[austere crest]

yeah just like, don't.. cut off our boobs? It could literally be the same cosmetics just fitted slightly different

[austere crest]

Primary fire on staffs with quell cancel is probably about the same

[primal plume]

Yeah. I wish they just didnt half ass it

people argue "well you never see it anyway"

neither do you do in any soulsborne games

but they do it anyway to add detail

its not a huge deal to have or not have

but having it just feels like the devs care and respect your decision

[austere crest]

Rogie Trader looks great

it feels like its just marketed to guys tbh, which sucks because ther are alot of us playing

[mighty cipher]

Can you get me some footage of quell canceling? I’ve heard about it every now and again but I’ve never actually seen it and YouTube isn’t helping.

[dim parrot]

is it tho?

[primal plume]

I wan actual robes...

[mighty cipher]

And it must be INSANE if your saying that it performs as well as assail.

[dim parrot]

I dont want 2 run around with a bald head

[primal plume]

If magnus didnt fuck off we probably wouldnt need to have a bunch of invasive surgery on psykers

i could be wrong, dont quote me

i just remember the emperor wanted to make his webway like the eldar had so psykers could more safely train and operate

and magnus was pivitol to that plan

[tired oracle]

so you can see a waistline here

ik they use the male torso shape for the female models too but cmon man, it doesnt even look like the picture

[austere crest]

i mean, the second you equip clothing, there is none that are not male fitted

[austere crest]

its the same as the picture, diff lighting

[primal plume]

Could also be lighting, pose, and angle

[dim parrot]

oooh u mean that, shi idk im just conflicted about psykers headpieces looking like u would be bullied in warhammer school if u would wear it

[mighty cipher]

I’m begging.

[tulip kettle]

sec vulkan

[mighty cipher]

Thanks

[tired oracle]

ill zoom it out and grab some pics of different angles, it's a guy's torso

[marble crater]

Women in 40k just don't have curves

[tulip kettle]

first is without quell cancel, second is with

[mighty cipher]

Well then

[tulip kettle]

all im doing is pressing quell immediately after the projectile shoots then shooting again

its possible to quell too early and cancel the shot from actually firing

[mighty cipher]

That’s fantastic

[tulip kettle]

but as you can see its a significant fire rate increasew

[mighty cipher]

I still wouldn’t say it beats assail but any measure, especially due to the difficulty of actually maxing out it’s potential in a real mission, but it’s definitely an option.

[tulip kettle]

i mean

if youre cheesy and make a mouse macro for it so its guaranteed

[tired oracle]

I guess it'll get fixed someday but man, a year from now? eight?

[tulip kettle]

its very, very strong

[mighty cipher]

Oh, absolutely. But if you’re macroing I don’t want you’re opinion about what’s good and what’s not.

[tulip kettle]

yeah i mean you can see im not 😄

its still very good for melting through hordes
